Large Democratic Meeting at Alexan-
dria.
ALEXANDRIA, La, Nov. l1.-A large meet
ing of Democrats was addressed at the town
hall last night by Messrs Wilmington, Watts
and Blackman. The people we're very enthu-
siastic and gave close attention to the speak
ers. No bitter partisanshjp was INDUCED in.
The speech of Octo w. Watt, his first effort,
was quite creditable one. giving promise of
brilliant future for this young man.
M. j. Wilmington reviewed the political
situation, and asked the Rapides Democrats
to stand by whoever is nominated, express
ing great preference for Gov. McEnery.
Judge Biackman said he was not here for
the purpose of making any personal assault
on the character of or standing Of Gen.
Nichols. He honored him for the military
and civil services that he had rendered the
State, but there was no reason why the
Democracy Of Louisiana needed general of
twenty years ago to save it HOW. We were
not threatened with any dangers or perils
No abuses existed in the State that required
man of military reputation to suppress.
The canvass Of Gen. Nichols was based on
a sentiment with no practical benefits to re-
suit therefrom. Nichols promises no re-
forms. promised no new measures for the
benefit Of the people. McEnery was live,
energetic, Wldeawake Governor, doing ali he
could with his advisers and abbettors for the
material prosperity of the State. The people |
should deal with real and earnest facts and
not sentiment We are looking for the |
benefit OF the State morally and materially. |
and it is not expected that we should tie our
selves to the issues of a buried past but look |
to the present. Gov. McEnery has shown |
himself capable OF taking care of the greet |
interest OF the present and change might |
be OF great detIiment and retard our pro-
gress for twenty years.

state of the country, which gave him uneasi-

be always knew what was going on. This
announcement did not tend to raise any

that she was tired and going to bed

In his case.
An enormous number Of Christmas presents has

The Idobtdu refers to the recent attempt OF q
